Tarrant County judge wants to give $50 incentive to get vaccinated FORT WORTH, Texas - We are now at a point where vaccine supply is higher than demand. North Texas officials are looking into ways to convince more people to get vaccinated, including possible incentives. Four months into the vaccine rollout, just under 35% of Tarrant county residents 16 and over have been fully vaccinated. That’s nowhere near the 60-70% needed for projected herd immunity. Tarrant County Judge Glen Whitley floated the idea last week of offering money as a reward for getting vaccinated. "I really think we’re at a point to where people are saying maybe I don't need to go get it," he said. "Well if somebody was offering them a $50 bill, maybe they’d show up."
